A judge has revoked the bond of Larry Towns, the former head of the Elkhart County Drug Task Force, because he failed to show up for a hearing.

Towns was indicted in May on 13 counts, including felony theft and misdemeanor charges of official misconduct and criminal conversion.

He was to have appeared at a hearing on Friday.

Towns is accused of stealing a gun, drugs and $9,000 while he was head of the task force.

He is also accused of failing to turn over records to his successor in a timely manner.

Towns took the job in 1999, when he retired as detective captain at the Elkhart Police department.

Kerry, obviously not 'up to speed' on the 'Blood for Oil'/UN scandal.

I hope Repubs take this and nail his ignorance; once and for all.
